If manual focus is ok then don't forget the Samyang 85mm, available new and cheaply and with a number of fans on here including myself. About a fifth of the price of the Zeiss

Thanks! Will look into it. I usually shoot macro and landscape. Yet now I was invited to take photos in a couple of large parties and need get a descent portrait lens.

I second the Samyang lens! Currently my favourite. It's helped me get accustomed to manual focusing, although still a long way from catching moving objects/people.

Thanks for all the advice. I got a used copy of the legendary FA 77. Supposedly in excellent condition. Can't wait for the delivery! After all, this was one of the lenses that made me switch from Nikon to Pentax a few years ago.
